back to me with more pictures of the (interior,engine and the
exterior) of this vehicle (if available) because i won't be able to
come for the inspection due to the nature of my work.Am buying it for
my holiday cos I'll be coming soon from our rig as am an engineer and
am on a rig offshore.As for the payment..i can only pay via the
fastest and secure way to pay online (PayPal) here,pls get back to me
with your PayPal details and in case you don't have,you can also get
back to me with your bank details so i can proceed with payment and
contact the courier agent that will come to pick it up and deliver it
in my place,and With the issue of my details,transferring the name of
ownership and signing of all paperwork will be done by the courier
services company agent so you don't have to worry about that. I await
to hear from you soon.

Part of the scam there is in the phone number. 070 isn't a normal mobile number, it's a premium rate number. If anyone's daft enough to call it you won't get through to "Mr Harbird" but will probably hear a voicemail message and when you get your bill will find out you've been charged something ridiculous for the call.

Just googled how it exactly works.How it works
The con operates as follows: a “buyer” contacts you expressing an interest in your car (or whatever you’re selling: the scam exists on websites other than Auto Trader). Commonly, the emails are littered with grammatical errors, are oddly phrased and the buyer is most likely to say he or she is out of the country.
They then go on to say they want your item but can only arrange payment via PayPal.
They’ll ask you to give your PayPal details or set up an account. Once you’ve done that, you receive a notification that you've been paid for your goods. In fact you've been overpaid. Subsequently you are asked to send the difference back via Western Union or some other online payment method – but as you do so, the fraudsters reverse the PayPal transaction, leaving you hundreds or thousands of pounds out of pocket. Alternatively, the scam works by someone collecting the car, or whatever you’re selling, then raising a dispute with PayPal that the goods haven’t been received. PayPal can then take back the money from your account.

How about: Dear Mr Hairbrain. I have cancelled all my advertisements on this vehicle, to suit your willingness to buy. Unfortunately, I don't have a bank account, (due to me being insolvent, no fault of my own, I assure you), and so the vehicle awaits collection by your named representative, on the terms of full amount only in cash, British Pounds.
I'm sure that will not be a problem to you, as it is well known that rig workers are rolling in it.
Yours in Expectation,
James Nomug.

Cheers Dave and all the others I knew it was a scam straight away and no way would I have let the van go like that also knew how the banks/scam works--
I might have got 3/4 lads together and follow the van to where the courier took it and give the receiving person a good hiding

Not the best idea, that could cost you more than the van.. The courts are daft sometimes and have some strange ideas.

There are no new scams just old ones repackaged, its all down to two things, deception and or theft.. Biggest catalyst, GREED..
